I have never seen the ponds up here so low on water. Those that still have water. A lot are just flat dried up. Since mid May I have had only 2.2 inches of rain at my house. An inch and a quarter of that was in a day and a half period.Titan Mk6Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-21273741005771326942012-09-27T14:36:16.824-07:002012-09-27T14:36:16.824-07:00Pro Libertate has a very good post up about the wh...Pro Libertate has a very good post up about the whole disgusting "officer safety trumps all constitutional and human rights" incident.<br /><br />http://freedominourtime.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/the-sacred-cause-of-officer-safety.htmlLuton Iannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-40582593063615526662012-09-27T09:46:56.860-07:002012-09-27T09:46:56.860-07:00The fat blue line going home at the end of the shi...The fat blue line going home at the end of the shift.<br /><br />They don't have that dangerous a job!<br /><br />on per capita accident and fatality rates, those who work in quarries, on construction sites, agriculture, commercial forestry and commercial fishery, all have less chance of going home at the end of each shift than a doughnut muncher does<br /><br />Do any of them bleat about wanting more of the OPM, because they do such a dangerous job<br /><br />Sure, quarrying, fishing, farming, forestry and construction are essential for society too, and most times those jobs are done more than 10 minutes drive from a venue serving coffee and doughnuts.<br /><br />All my working life, I've had less probability of completing my shift alive than a plod, it's only the past couple of weeks that I've started pointing that fact out.<br /><br />If they're that risk averse, get the hell out of the job and stop bleating, they can risk papercuts and RSI in an office instead.Luton Iannoreply@blogger.com
